What is Stem Cell Therapy?
Stem cell therapy is a cutting-edge medical treatment that leverages the unique regenerative capabilities of stem cells to repair and replace damaged tissues and organs. Stem cells are the body’s raw materials, capable of developing into various cell types, such as muscle cells, brain cells, and blood cells. This remarkable versatility makes them an invaluable resource in treating a wide range of conditions, from chronic diseases like arthritis and diabetes to acute injuries such as spinal cord damage and heart disease.
The process typically involves harvesting stem cells from the patient’s own body, such as from bone marrow or adipose (fat) tissue, or using donor cells. These cells are then processed and injected into the affected area, where they promote natural healing and regeneration. By targeting the root cause of the issue, stem cell therapy can reduce inflammation, accelerate recovery, and improve overall function.
At Sava Clinic, we are at the forefront of this revolutionary field, offering state-of-the-art stem cell treatments tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Our expert team is dedicated to providing safe, effective, and personalized care, helping you achieve optimal health and well-being.

Stem Cell Therapy frequently asked questions
What are the side effects of stem cell therapy?
Side effects of stem cell therapy are generally minimal but can include temporary pain, swelling, and redness at the injection site. In rare cases, there may be a risk of infection or an adverse immune response.
Is stem cell therapy FDA approved?
Some stem cell therapies are FDA approved, particularly those involving blood-forming stem cells used in transplants for certain cancers and blood-related disorders. However, many other applications are still under clinical investigation and may not yet have FDA approval.
How long do stem cell injections last?
The duration of the effects from stem cell injections can vary widely depending on the condition being treated and individual patient factors. Some patients may experience relief for several months to a few years, while others might need additional treatments.
How painful is stem cell therapy?
Stem cell therapy is generally well-tolerated and minimally invasive. Patients may experience some discomfort during the injection and mild soreness afterward, but severe pain is uncommon.
Does stem cell therapy last a lifetime?
The longevity of stem cell therapy results can vary. While some patients may experience long-term benefits, others might need periodic treatments to maintain the desired outcomes. Stem cell therapy is not typically considered a one-time, permanent cure.

Prof. Dr. Rıfat Rasier
MD
BIOGRAPHY
During his medical education and specialization in ophthalmology, he attended Louisiana State University School of Medicine in the United States, Stadtisches Klinikum Kemperhof in Koblenz, Germany, and The Western Eye Hospital, Imperial College in England. In 2007, he received medical equivalence from the General Medical Council of England and became a fully registered doctor in England.
In addition to his ophthalmology education, he completed a master's program in Biomedical Engineering at Boğaziçi University in 2009.
Continuing his career development without slowing down, Rasier completed his specialization in Ophthalmology at Bilim University in 2010.
He fulfilled his mandatory service at Kırklareli State Hospital in 2012.
He attained the title of "Associate Professor" in the Department of Ophthalmology in 2016. He completed his PhD in Biomedical Engineering at Boğaziçi University with a 4.0 GPA in 2017.
As a result of his work at the Biomedical Engineering Laboratory of Boğaziçi University, Rıfat Rasier developed a procedure for laser-welding incisions in the transparent layer of the eye during cataract surgery, thereby closing the incision without the need for sutures. Current cataract surgeries either leave incisions open or suture them. Laser tissue welding experiments yielded positive results in closing incisions without stitches, reducing infection risks and shortening operation times.
This work by Rıfat Rasier was published in an international book titled "Infrared Lasers for Corneal Tissue Welding."
